Extract HTML table as structured JSON
AI agents call ira_extract_table to retrieve information from IRA-RESEARCHER without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and structures table data from web pages with no side effects, no code execution, and no data modification or deletion. It falls clearly into the Read category—fetching and parsing visible page content. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose information already visible on the page, with no destructive, financial, or operational consequences.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'ira_extract_table' and description 'Extract HTML table as structured JSON' indicate data retrieval without modification. The verb 'extract' denotes reading/querying existing content from a webpage.
